Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. 4.5 Stars ( ) Overall, I liked the fictionalization of the Lovings' plight, though there were a few instances in the writing that seemed poorly executed. I wasn't a huge fan of the woman's voice in the audio...it was a bit too over-the-top, but otherwise a good, quick listen. Great way to put kids into the shoes of these historic figures. If you have people who are interested in the history of the Loving family but don't want to read a nonfiction account this book in verse fills in the details quite nicely. Told from the perspective of Mildred and Richard, with lovely illustrations along the way, it is heart breaking to read about the trials and trouble they had to go through just to be together as man and wife. Interspersed throughout the book are legal documents, quotations, and historical photos showing what the family was up against. I'm glad I bought this one for my library. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

From acclaimed author Patricia Hruby Powell comes the story of a landmark civil rights case, told in spare and gorgeous verse. In 1955, in Caroline County, Virginia, amidst segregation and prejudice, injustice and cruelty, two teenagers fell in love. Their life together broke the law, but their determination would change it. Richard and Mildred Loving were at the heart of a Supreme Court case that legalized marriage between races, and a story of the devoted couple who faced discrimination, fought it, and won.
